Why I believe in God

Atheism is illogical and impractical. It is self-contradictory because the one who does not believe God exists is effectively claiming to have infinite knowledge that One with infinite knowledge does not exist (Huh?). It is impractical because atheism was tried by numerous tyrants including Hitler and Stalin, and it failed miserably. Hitler, who followed the philosophy of F Nietzsche and gave a copy of Nietzsche's book to his ally Benito Mussolini, made the choice to oppose all religion (yet every major denomination supported him originally) and specifically Christianity. Remember Hitler was merely trying to help evolution along by destroying the weaker races and people. Stalin made Hitler look like a saint by killing at least 50 million people in trying to follow F Nietzsche and K Marx. F Nietzsche wrote that "God is dead, and we killed him." He also understood that with god gone a "superman" or "super race" would be created to fill the void. He predicted that with god dead mankind would see the 20th century as the bloodiest century ever. He was right, in fact, it has been argued that the 20th century was bloodier than the previous 19 centuries put together. Atheism applied is not practical to human civilization. The question that remains is, why in the world do we, as followers of Jesus, make decisions without considering or by effectively denying God. That is, why do I make choices from an atheistic perspective? That is worse than illogical and impractical... it is close to pure stupid. May God be merciful to me a sinner.
